Take out the seeds in the bell pepper, wash and slice them.

Prepare the yogurt dressing by mixing the ingredients.

Serve the salad vegetables with the yogurt dressing.

Tips

Bell pepper, which is abundant in vitamin C and betacarotene, is useful for making diverse dishes including salads, thanks to its strongly sweet but not spicy taste. You can increase the absorption of betacarotene by stir-frying it with oil or taking it with dressing. To pick the freshest bell pepper, choose some that is hard in texture, vivid in color, and shiny on the surface.
